New research from scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, which was published in the Journal of Petrology last month, indicates the two shield volcanoes share a magma source within Hawaii’s ...

These structures, called Large Low Seismic ... the Earth’s mantle is crucial for studying our planet’s evolution and surface phenomena like volcanism and mountain building. The mantle drives these ...

“Our latest research shows that this is incorrect. Melt from a shared mantle source within the Hawaiian plume may be transported alternately to Kīlauea or Maunaloa on a timescale of decades.
